Verse 1

C

Never made it as a wise man

G

I couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing

Am

Tired of living like a blind man

F

I’m sick of sight without a sense of feeling

C

And this is how you remind me

G

This is how you remind me

Am

Of what I really am

F

This is how you remind me

Chorus

C

It’s not like you to say sorry

G

I was waiting on a different story

Am

This time I’m mistaken

F

For handing you a heart worth breaking

And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down

G

Been to the bottom of every bottle

Am

These five words in my head

F

Scream “Are we having fun yet?”

Verse 2

C

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

G

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Am

It’s not like you didn’t know that

F

And it must have been so bad

’Cause living with him must have damn near killed you

Of what I really am
